Monday was my 28th Birthday. I love Birthday's and that morning was especially grand because I woke to Lucy's happy squeals and smiles. This year has been the best yet, it was the year I became a mom and we started a new chapter of life in Menomonie. 28 is destined to be great as well!

The other night we made this salsa and I have to share it. It's from The Pioneer Woman's Holiday Cookbook we received from Aunt Mim. This salsa was SO easy to make and incredibly delicious- we both said it might be our favorite. ever. It made a ton, which is good, because chips and salsa is a staple in the Carlson household.

Into a blender add, tomatoes, onion, chipotles, cumin, salt, pepper, sugar, cilantro and lime juice (so everything :)
Blend until totally combined. Give it a taste and add more of whatever seasonings it needs.
The PW says to make the salsa several hours before serving, as it will give the flavors a chance to dance.
The salsa will keep in the fridge for up to 2 week…

Life has been a blur! My little Lucy bear is growing like a weed and every stage is better than the last. I feel so fortunate to stay home with her everyday and love hearing every coo, seeing every smile, and kissing her little cheekers a million times a day. I couldn't love her any more and think being a mom is the greatest thing in the world.
She started this funny thing of roaring. It just cracks Sten and I up so much. She's been such a happy little girl. My favorite part of the day is when I hear the garage opening and Lucy and I stand at the top of the stairs. Her face LIGHTS up when she sees Sten. It completely melts my heart. I love them so.
